More Control over Bible Reading Plans

Right now we can divide by “chapter, periscope, or default.” Default seems to be a hybrid, but the problem with both chapter and pericope divisions is that they do not count verses or words to determine length. So long pericopes like the chapters of Job get lumped together in enormous days of reading, and the same is true of sections with long chapters (e.g., Luke).
It would be nice if we had two selections: divide at [chapter/pericope/hybrid] counting by [chapter/pericope/verse/word]. This would allow us to determine where the break occurs and how much distance there is between breaks.
Overall, doing pericope counting by word (in the chosen translation) would provide the most balanced reading plan in terms of daily quantity, and that is my goal. The other options would be available as desired for other cases.
